ansi-escape

I use a library that adds ANSI colors / styles to strings. For example: > "Hello World".rgb(255, 255, 255) '\u001b[38;5;231mHello World\u001b[0m' > "Hello World".rgb(255, 255, 255).bold() '\u001b[1m\u001b[38;5;231mHello World\u001b[0m\u001b[22m' When I do: console.log('\u001b[1m\u001b[38;5;231mHello World\u001b[0m\u001b[22m') a "Hello World" white and bold message will be output. Having a string like '\u001b[1m\u001b[38;5;231mHello World\u001b[0m\u001b[22m' how can these elements be removed? foo('\u001b[1m\u001b[38;5;231mHello World\u001b[0m\u001b[22m') //=> "Hello World" Maybe a good regular

When I search in, for example, man ls while in a tmux session, the search strings don't appear highlighted - the page jumps down so that the search string is on the top line of the buffer, as expected, but it's not highlighted. Doing the same thing in the same shell while not in a tmux session results in highlighted search strings. I have no idea where to start looking to solve this. Any hints are appreciated. Based on Less Colors For Man Pages by Gen2ly , here is my man page and how to do it: Preview This is a shell, not a web page ! How to (optional) I'm using Tomorrow theme for Konsole

I know that in bash terminals a reliable way to change color is using ANSI escape sequences. For example: echo -e "\033[0;31mbrown text\033[0;00m" should output brown text (in brown) Is there a way to output color using a specific RGB set with ANSI? Say I want bright red: echo -e "**\033[255:0:0m**red text\033[0;00m" Does this sort of thing exist? I just want to use standard bash. Both answers here fail to mention the Truecolor ANSI support for 8bpc color. This will get the RGB color the OP originally asked for. Instead of ;5 , use ;2 , and specify the R , G , and B values (0-255) in the

I am writing automation scripts ( perl / bash ). Many of them benefit from some basic terminal GUI. I figured I'd use standard ANSI sequences for basic drawing. Before drawing in terminal I do clear but doing that I lose some terminal command history. I want to be able to restore terminal command history when my program exists. Many terminal programs (e.g. less , man , vim , htop , nmon , whiptail , dialog etc) do exactly that. All of them restore terminal window bringing the user back to where he was prior to calling the program with all the history of commands previously executed. To be

I'm trying to print escape characters as characters or strings using this code: while((c = fgetc(fp))!= EOF) { if(c == '\0') { printf(" \0"); } else if(c == '\a') { printf(" \a"); } else if(c == '\b') { printf(" \b"); } else if(c == '\f') { printf(" \f"); } else if(c == '\n') { printf(" \n"); } else if(c == '\r') { printf(" \r"); } else if(c == '\t') { printf(" \t"); } else if(c == '\v') { printf(" \v"); } } but when i try it, it actually prints the escape sequence. Escape the slashes (use " \\a" ) so they won't get interpreted specially. Also you might want to use a lookup table or a switch

Is it possible to clear the output at the command prompt using C on windows? For example, on linux I could do printf("\033[2J"); But as far as I know windows doesn't recognise the ANSI escape codes Thanks. EDIT: I guess I'll also need to get the cursor back to 0,0 fo r the next output after the clear... There are many way to do that on windows. You include conio.h and call _clrscr(); Or you can call system("cls"); Just as an alternative to the conio.h or the system call, just an implementation (i suposse that similar to the conio library) of how it is supossed to be done in windows. #include

I'm trying to retrieve the coordinates of cursor in a VT100 terminal using the following code: void getCursor(int* x, int* y) { printf("\033[6n"); scanf("\033[%d;%dR", x, y); } I'm using the following ANSI escape sequence: Device Status Report - ESC[6n Reports the cursor position to the application as (as though typed at the keyboard) ESC[n;mR, where n is the row and m is the column. The code compiles and the ANSI sequence is sent, but, upon receiving it, the terminal prints the ^[[x;yR string to the stdout instead of stdin making it imposible for me to retrieve it from the program: Clearly,
